Connecting The Multimaus - roco multiMAUS Handbuch

Connecting the multiMAUS

Fig. 2 on page 3 shows the basic connection. For a fully-functional ROCO digital system with the
multiMAUS, you will need the following components:
A Z21-digital centre,
▪
A 10851 switching power supply,
▪
And a 61190 feeder track. If you are using another feeder track or system, make sure that there is no
▪
capacitor in the feeder track.
You will find information on other devices which you can use with the multiMAUS in the chapter
"Compatibility of the multiMAUS" in the third section of this manual.
Please pay attention to the following instructions before you start connecting components:
The warranty will be voided if you are using ROCO components together with components from
other companies. In addition there is a risk of damage or malfunction to your digital system. Your
warranty will also be void if you open the housing of the multiMAUS.
Please only carry out any connection work with the operating voltage switched off (as an exception:
connection of further X-BUS based equipment, see below). Work carefully and make sure to avoid
short circuits at all costs when connecting to the track system. An incorrect connection may destroy
the digital components. You should also seek the advice of a specialist or local dealer.
Never connect a normal transformer to the same electrical circuit as the digital control centre track.
This will destroy the digital control centre.
1. Plug the feeder track cable into the track socket "Track Out" on the Z21.
2. Plug the hollow plug, which is connected to the switching power supply by the two-pin cable, into the
"DC-Power" socket.
3. Connect the multiMAUS and the Z21 using the cable included with your system. Plug the cable into
the connection socket on the Z21 labeled "X-BUS".
4. Only now should you connect the switching power supply to the mains socket. This prevents damage
from being caused to the digital system.
The socket labeled "X-BUS" is for connecting a further multiMAUS, a Lokmaus 2 / R3, or RouteControl
10772. In this case you should have switched the system on. This ensures that the automatic alloca-
tion of the X-BUS addresses will be without any problems. If more than one of these devices are to be
connected, you will require the data BUS distributor 10758.
Note on the instructions
Text that contains an "
"+" in the diagrams means that both the keys mentioned must be pressed together.
"/" in the diagrams stands for a selection of one of the two keys mentioned.
Unless otherwise mentioned, the term "Z21" refers to all different Z21 variants (Z21, z21, z21start).
